Around July 3 plex.tv started returning the profile language-list fields
(defaultAudioLanguages, defaultSubtitleLanguages, mediaReviewsLanguages)
as comma-separated strings instead of arrays. The generated cast threw on
the successful 201 /switch response, dropping the freshly minted Home
user token: every rebind failed, the binder retried a /switch mint every
1-2s, and the app sat permanently in offline mode even after re-signing
in. Accounts without language prefs set were unaffected, which is why
the breakage looked sporadic.
Parse the language lists with a CSV-aware coercion, and make
UserSwitchResponse.fromJson strict only about authToken: decorative
fields now coerce tolerantly and a broken profile blob falls back to
defaults, so account-API drift can never brick token minting again.

Delete unused registry members (ProfileConnectionRegistry.insertIfAbsent /
removeAllForProfile, ProfileRegistry.reorder, ProfilesView.countFor,
ConnectionRegistry.getDefault) and their orphan tests, refreshing the stale
docs that named removeAllForProfile as the profile-delete cleanup path.
Repair the "one default per profile" join-row invariant: the connectionId FK
cascade (foreign_keys=ON) silently drops a profile's default row while its
other rows survive, leaving it defaultless. Add promoteMissingDefaults, share
a deterministic re-promotion helper with remove(), and re-promote in
removeAllForConnection.
- start binder before navigating from auth, mark isBinding synchronously
- overlap plex.tv resource refresh with optimistic cached-metadata connect,
reconcile tokens/membership in background once it lands
- cached endpoint probe gets a head start on the race instead of serially
blocking it
- defer phase-1 HTTPS upgrade off the splash critical path
- per-server connect progress stream for incremental splash checkmarks
- startup timing instrumentation (bind/fetch/race/connect elapsedMs)
